The new technology of MAMR from Western Digital

Last Wednesday at the event in San Jose, Western Digital Company officially demonstrated a new technology that will allow creating hard magnetic discs with a capacity of up to 40 TB. The purpose of discs with such a large volume are provided mainly for smart cities, namely to collect a huge amount of data from cameras and other sensors.

At the moment there is a volume hard drive from WD at 14 TB, but as practice shows, SMR technology has a number of disadvantages, including fast wear and strong heat dissipation. The new technology will provide not only a fast transfer of a large amount of data, but also solve many problems of modern disks. According to the vice president of the company, new items will be delivered in 2019.
